Recently, I’ve noticed a pattern where I work extremely hard when I’m catching up on things or behind in some way. However, the moment I create a comfortable lead in life, I proceed to waste the next few days until its gone. All drive is gone, even if I have ideas of things I can do to move forward. Is there any advice anyone can give on maintaining that lead and finding motivation to keep moving when you get ahead on your goals and responsibilities.

    I almost need that adrenaline rush of being behind to focus me.

    Also, this post is making me realize that this could be a feature of my (undiagnosed but 99.9% certain) ADHD.
